Jan 2006 TWiLiTE Summary The TWiLiTE IIP is a three year R&D project to design and build an airborne scanning direct detection Doppler lidar The primary objective is to advance the TRL of key component technologies as a stepping stone to space. At the end of the project we will have a fully autonomous, integrated Doppler lidar designed to measure full profiles of winds from a high altitude aircraft. We are actively seeking input on the instrument design requirements from the community. This includes input on potential applications, target field experiments, etc for the TWiLiTE instrument.
